I saw 7.3 and August 3rd and thought that was when it was coming out. I'm now disappointed that it isn't.

Time to ask him on what drugs they were when they designed the Netherlight Crucible.

Lets ask them if they'll update Worgen and Goblin models.

Edit: Thought it was an interview with Wowhead, but its their own Q&A instead.

Hmm... A dev Q&A typically marks either 1) the middle of the dev cycle for the next patch or 2) the announcement of the date of the next patch. We'll see how it goes.

I'd like to know if we will be able to upgrade our existing crafted gear beyond level 900 and our existing legendaries beyond level 970.

Time for all hunters to come together and ask: When will we get more stable master slots?

The answer to that is already known as yes, to 915 but with the new Primal Obliterum.

Edit: Ooh, looks like it's been increased to 935!

Seems odd this Q&A. With 95% of the 7.3 content on PTR or datamined and relatively small class balance (forgive the pun) what burning questions are there?\r \rSeems a bit late to question what 7.3 is going to bring.... PR for the patch I think.

Edit: Ooh, looks like it's been increased to 935!I tried to upgrade level 900 crafted gear in the PTR using Primal Obliterum and it says that that requires "Basic Obliterum". I think the Primal Obliterum is only used to upgrade the new level 885 gear that's being introduced in 7.3.

I also tried upgrading the level 900 gear using the current Obliterum and it consumed the Obliterum and two Blood of Sargeras but did nothing to the gear.

Yeah ok I didn't quite read your initial comment correctly. You will have to craft the new gear and upgrade it, not the old gear. At least i am happy to learn that it will now go to 935. My alt army will at least not have to languish in low gear hell.

I assume that the whole level cap increase and legendary upgrade will happen upon mythic throne opening.

Edit: Though sadly it does look like we're only getting 1 new crafted piece. Seems like a massive cop out really, I hope it's simply because the rest aren't done, but I'm not holding my breath.

But even if they released new crafted gear for every slot, I would hate to have to start over. I've been acquiring and upgrading my crafted gear since the start of Legion 11 months ago, generally searching for the single stat gear of either Savant or Decimator since all my characters are dps.

Time to ask him on what drugs they were when they designed the Netherlight Crucible.\r\rExactly! Hey can we submit questions? Ask him why they can not do anything other than add another INSANE grind to the game, and also extend Concordance, something we were suppose to get one point in and we would not ever finish it in the expansion. They said it was the last of the grind for AK\/AP at the time.\r\rAsk them why they lie every chance they get!

\r\rAsk them why they lie every chance they get!\r\r... maybe when players start seeing AK\/AP grinds that are optional AS optional - just 'cos it's there, doesn't mean you HAVE to do it - it's the PLAYER who can't resist the grind, does it & then moans like a 3yo denied jelly-babies (other brands of sweets are available) when it takes too damned long; can't blame Blizz. for failure to resist compulsion. :P
